Heather Mills was awarded $48.6 million in her divorce settlement with Paul McCartney. A High Court judge ruled that Heather will receive $33 million in cash and $15.6 million in assets from her ex-husband.

During the impromptu press conference on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice, Mills ranted about former husband Sir Paul McCartney, his attorney Fiona Shackleton and the entire court system.

“I am very, very, very happy,” Heather said outside the steps of the courthouse. “I was always going to get between $40 and $60 million, but Sir Paul was offering much less than that.”

“The judge said Paul was only worth GBP400 million ($800 million), but everyone has known he has been worth GBP800 ($1.6 billion) for the last 15 years,” she continued. “I wasn’t allowed any access into any of our accounts, I was locked out of every home. I hope now that me and my daughter can have a life and not be followed every single day. Apart from one TV thing, I have kept silent for 21 months. I wanted to keep it private but he wanted it made public he always wants to look like he’s generous Sir Paul.”

The couple, who have one daughter, Beatrice, married in 2002 and split four years later.
